Now I admit, a basket isn't very exciting. But you know, it's kind of like getting a remote controlled car for Christmas. It's a high quality gift, but it ain't worth jack unless the giver remembered to buy you batteries. The batteries, while boring in of themselves, are totally essential to the overall demeanor of the gift. Likewise, here we have a plain ol' regular basket. Maybe it's nothing special, but it completes a puzzle within the walls of Playmobil's advent character that's been haunting us since the first of December.
What does the maniacal group of Mare Winninghams do with their spare time?
To be perfectly honest, I'm still not really sure what they're doing. I can clearly see that it involves a fence and the new basket, and they appear to be enjoying themselves, but I can't for the life of me actually figure out what in God's holy name they're doing. Part of me wants to say that they're building a catapult, but I can't find any 'trigger' contraption. I'd say their made a little toboggan out of the basket so they could ride down the fence, but let's face it here - that's a pretty fucked up thing to do. I guess it'll just remain a Christmas mystery until Mare sells her story to the tabloids. After that, there'll only be one question left... Which Mare Winningham sold the story? I'm really starting to hate Christmas.
